Right been thinking about this lately
Ive just bene on WP webite with their VMAX sofware, but mainly been looking at EDS phase 2. Any reason to choose one over the other? For the price EDS gives more power. But Vmax seems to be switchable to std power which is what interests me most about that.
I have a large FMIC, and would most probably need an F28. But is it worth doing anything else? Like conrod bolt thingies? ARP are they? Also will i need a new actuator?
Going to have to replace my valve stem seals too, so anything worth doin inside the engine whilst its in peices? Not looking for any power style mods from uprating, just reliablilty.
Any advice please

Hmmmmm
Vmax is more tempting due to slightly more power and ability to run std. Which to me is ideal. I love how my car drives. But i want that button on the dash when i see a clio V6. 
Hmmmm tempted big time. Just need the cash now

phase 2 EDS is switchable between 0.60 and 1.00 bar!
i wouldnt worry about driving on standard settings just be careful with ur right foot..
and i would recomment an uprated actuator to hold the boost.

TBH jambo it doesnt matter which one you get...
they are both all good..
you wont really notice the 30bhp increase that phase2 gives you.. but when you switch that to full boost.. yeah you notice it.. A LOT
